I was born and raised in the ghetto
 Talk with me and you'll know
 I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
 I started looking around, for a possibility

 Listen to my story, of what became of me
 I met a businessman
 Who said he had some friends back east
 So why don't you come along
 Well we can help you at least
 We'll make you into a big star
 By playing your guitar
 But the joke was on me
 They left me flat to see

 Going back west
 Yes I know I'll make out alright
 Going back west
 Where my music's playing all night
 Going back west (going back west)
 I think I'll do alright

 Going back west
 Yes I know I'll make out alright
 Going back west
 Where my music's playing all night
 Going back west (going back west)
 I think I'll do alright

 Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
 I got a lot of promises
 They told me not to fret
 So we will stand by you
 If the going gets rough
 But when I started thinking
 They didn't even bluff

 'Bout a year has come and gone
 And left me standing here
 Thinking how it could have been
 For still I ain't nowhere
 They surely took me for a ride
 Trampled on my pride
 But I hold my head up high
 Got no more tears to cry

 Going back west
 Yes I know I'll make out alright
 Going back west
 Where my music's playing all night
 Going back west (going back west)
 I think I'll do alright

 Going back west
 Yes I know I'll make out alright
 Going back west
 Where my music's playing all night
 Going back west (going back west)
 I think I'll do alright

 Going back west
 Yes I know I'll make out alright
 Going back west
 Where my music's playing all night
